Winner of the American Historical Association's 2022 Eugenia M.
Palmegiano Prize. White publishers and editors used their
newspapers to build, nurture, and protect white supremacy across
the South in the decades after the Civil War. At the same time, a
vibrant Black press fought to disrupt these efforts and force the
United States to live up to its democratic ideals. Journalism and
Jim Crow centers the press as a crucial political actor shaping the
rise of the Jim Crow South. The contributors explore the leading
role of the white press in constructing an anti-democratic society
by promoting and supporting not only lynching and convict labor but
also coordinated campaigns of violence and fraud that
disenfranchised Black voters. They also examine the Black press's
parallel fight for a multiracial democracy of equality, justice,
and opportunity for all-a losing battle with tragic consequences
for the American experiment. Original and revelatory, Journalism
and Jim Crow opens up new ways of thinking about the complicated
relationship between journalism and power in American democracy.

Suffragists recognized that the media played an essential role in
the women's suffrage movement and the public's understanding of it.
From parades to going to jail for voting, activists played to the
mass media of their day. They also created an energetic niche media
of suffragist journalism and publications.This collection offers
new research on media issues related to the women's suffrage
movement. Contributors incorporate media theory, historiography,
and innovative approaches to social movements while discussing the
vexed relationship between the media and debates over suffrage.
Aiming to correct past oversights, the essays explore overlooked
topics such as coverage by African American and Mormon-oriented
media, media portrayals of black women in the movement, suffragist
rhetorical strategies, elites within the movement, suffrage as part
of broader campaigns for social transformation, and the influence
views of white masculinity had on press coverage. Contributors:

Scars of the Heart is set in Medieval times. It's about Katrina,
who is cast, through tragedy, into an unheard of relationship. She
blossoms into a beautiful and exotic young lady and is about to be
presented to society. To be so young, she is extremely adept at
handling whatever comes her way and has the self-control and street
smarts to do what's needed, even if it means losing her life.
Markus, prince and heir to the throne, who's chivalry nearly costs
him his life; falls for the beautiful Katrina. While struggling
against the physical demands of his body to keep her moral demands
of virginity intact, he devises an elaborate plan to make her fall
in love with him. One fatal moment in time intertwines the two of
them together, in spite of all the adversity to come their way and
the deceitfulness required to bring it all about to Markus'
satisfaction. Alexander is our villain in this story and he uses
all his wiles to charm Katrina into falling in love with him while
secretly trying to destroy Markus and his family. They're all in
danger. While trying to save one another in a cat and mouse game of
deceit and lies, intrigue and murder, they each may end up losing
what matters the most. It's a dangerous game and not everyone can
be the winner.

In November 1984, Jeffrey Masson filed a libel suit against writer
Janet Malcolm and the New Yorker, claiming that Malcolm had
intentionally misquoted him in a profile she wrote for the magazine
about his former career as a Freud scholar and administrator of the
Freud archives. Over the next twelve years the case moved up and
down the federal judicial ladder, at one point reaching the U.S.
Supreme Court, as lawyers and judges wrestled with questions about
the representation of ""truth"" in journalism and, by extension,
the limits of First Amendment protections of free speech. Had a
successful Freudian scholar actually called himself an
""intellectual gigolo"" and ""the greatest analyst who ever
lived""? Or had a respected writer for the New Yorker knowingly
placed false, self-damning words in her subject's mouth?In
""Literary Journalism on Trial"", Kathy Roberts Forde explores the
implications of Masson v. New Yorker in the context of the history
of American journalism. She shows how the case represents a
watershed moment in a long debate between the advocates of
traditional and literary journalism and explains how it reflects a
significant intellectual project of the period: the postmodern
critique of objectivity, with its insistence on the instability of
language and rejection of unitary truth in human affairs. The case,
Forde argues, helped widen the perceived divide between ideas of
literary and traditional journalism and forced the resolution of
these conflicting conceptions of truth in the constitutional arena
of libel law.By embracing traditional journalism's emphasis on fact
and objectivity and rejecting a broader understanding of truth, the
Supreme Court turned away from the First Amendment theory
articulated in previous rulings, opting to value less the free,
uninhibited interchange of ideas necessary to democracy and more
the ""trustworthiness"" of public expression. The Court's decision
in this case thus had implications that reached beyond the legal
realm to the values and norms expressed in the triangular
relationship between American democracy, First Amendment
principles, and the press.
